Lync Connector server requirements

The requirements for the computer on which Lync Connector is installed are as follows:

• The computer must be in the same Windows domain as the Lync archiving database.

• A separate computer is recommended for the Lync Connector, but for small configurations you may use a Lync server.

• The computer can run any 64-bit operating system that the Microsoft Lync administration tools support.

• The Microsoft Lync administration tools must be installed.

• Microsoft .NET 4.5 must be installed. The Lync Connector installation installs this component automatically if required.

• Lync Connector requires outgoing HTTPS Internet access (port 443) to the Enterprise Vault.cloud data center.

• Lync Connector requires outgoing SMTP access to the Enterprise Vault.cloud data center. This access can be provided either directly or indirectly.

  See SMTP routing options

• Lync Connector requires access to a folder with at least 10 GB of free disk space, preferably located locally. Lync Connector uses this folder as a working folder, to hold the transcript emails that it extracts and processes from the Lync archiving database.
